Giving Up

Though my eyes are open
I only see gray
the currents are swift
as I’m carried away
covered in shadow
from the canopy above
the banks are too steep
I’ve no chance to get out-
And so I resign
as I have often done
closing my eyes
no longer seeking the sun

I let myself be swept away:
drowned.
